Does anyone know what I can do with this apple tree - its about one metre high and its a pain trying to cut grass around or under it and keep weeds at bay. It came with the house when we moved in about 3 and 1/2 years ago and doesn't seem to want to grow. I'm imagining its been this size for some time?

First question - is it worth keeping?

If so, then prune it into a more convenient shape. Take out the low hanging branches but leave some of the higher ones. Repeat next winter but leave any new growth.

Yes I'd like to keep it if possible there are two taller apple trees just to the left of it and it would be great two have three in a row at the bottom of the garden. I guess I prune after the apples get picked?
